This Draft Environment Impact Statement (EIS) assesses the environmental consequences of decisions to hold a competitive, sealed-bid sale and issue a lease for a tract of federal coal located adjacent to an existing surface coal mine in Campbell County, Wyoming, subject to standard and special lease stipulations. The Eagle Butte West Lease by Application (LBA) Tract, as applied for by Foundation Coal West, includes approximately 1,397.64 acres containing approximately 238 million tons of in-place Federal coal. Foundation Coal West, the operator of the adjacent Eagle Butte Mine, proposes to mine the tract as a maintenance lease for the existing mine, if a lease sale is held and they acquire the lease. This Draft EIS describes the physical, biological, cultural, historic, and socioeconomic resources in and around the existing mine and the LBA tract
